Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin's website that originally offered a portal to apply for jobs in his administration now hosts a Japanese anime porn site.

In a news release announcing the job portal in 2015, the Bevin campaign said it "contains a comprehensive web-based application where applications can be submitted for the hundreds of unclassified, non-merit jobs that will be available." The website URL — www.bevintransition.com — now takes users to the porn site.

The website links to a site featuring cartoon images of women engaged in pornographic acts. The website's IP address is connected to a city in Japan.

"The domain expired after the transition period, and it was not renewed," Bevin spokeswoman Elizabeth Kuhn said.

A November 2015 news release said all qualified applicants were welcome to apply for jobs in the administration and said qualified applicants may be Republicans, Democrats or independents.

"Applicants will, therefore, be reviewed for their qualifications and experience as well as for personal integrity and demonstrated commitment to the policy objectives of the Bevin administration," the 2015 news release said.

Bevin holds a degree in East Asian studies and says he is fluent in Japanese.
